About me

My work focuses on the theory and application of environmental and resource economics. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have been actively involved with fisheries and aquaculture in Latin America. Nevertheless, my current research agenda includes problems outside that scope. In particular, topics related to natural disasters, conservation, energy, and the political economy behind institutional regimes.

I am originally from Chile, but I have worked in several countries in Latin America under a wide umbrella of topics. I started my professional career working in the agricultural sector. During college, I specialized in operations research and its application to process optimization and facility design. Eventually, I became increasingly involved in policy analysis, which allowed my interests to mature, and led me to pursue a Masters in Environmental Science and Management. As my work started to center around policy and economic analysis, pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics became the natural next step in my career.

I have other non-professional interests whenever I have some free time. These include playing music, photography, snowboarding, road cycling, and aerobatics.
